Kapuso stars arrived on the blue carpet in full glamour, and according to GMA entertainment reporters Nelson Canlas, Aubrey Carampel and Athena Imperial, several names stood out on the red carpet for their elegant and fashion-forward choices.

Nelson named his Top 3 best-dressed—unranked but equally unforgettable. For him, Heart Evangelista dazzled in a hand-painted Schiaparelli gown that reportedly took five months to make.

"The details on her Schiaparelli gown were unreal," Nelson told The STAR, describing the Fashion Week regular. "Up close, you could tell, every piece was deliberate. It was art. She moved like she was one with it."

Marian Rivera wore a black lace off-shoulder gown from Zuhair Murad's Spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection. Nelson described the look as "so tasteful, so elegant. It flattered her in all the right ways. Very Marian—like she never has to try too hard, but always looks perfect."

Also making a strong impression were Bianca Umali, Barbie Forteza and Kyline Alcantara, whom Nelson collectively described as a "nice surprise." Their presence, style, and confidence exuded "strong young women vibes," he added.

"When you saw them, especially up close, you'd get it—the cut, the texture, the fit and the bearing all worked."
